"AHAHEIM WEEKLY GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY, March 16, 1905 "THE BILL IS HUNG UP IN THE SENATE." What excuse has Senator Anderson to offer for failing to get through the Senate the bill providing for establishing a pathological station in Southern California? Does he not know that if the bill passed, the station would inevitably have been located in Orange county? Does he not know that Governor Pardee favored the bill and had expressed his readiness to sign it if it passed? What excuse has Anderson for his telegram forwarded on the eve of adjournment that "the bill was hung up in the senate?" Was it a sell-out, or was it due to mere natural-born inefficiency? Assemblyman Amerige passed this bill through the assembly without the least trouble—in fact, the bill on first reading passed unanimously, there being 54 votes in its favor, none against. The measure was of such great importance to the horticultural interests of the entire state that it was rushed through the lower house, at a time when other bills of importance were pressing for attention. It was given into Anderson's care in abundant time for its passage in the senate, but he seems to have ignored it altogether. He seems to have got behind the Estudillo bill, providing for an experimental farm without reference to a pathological station, and after Amerige's bill had been on file several days in the upper house Anderson telegraphed announcing passage of the Estudillo measure. He was promptly informed by wire that the Amerige bill was the measure desired not only by Orange county, but by the combined horticultural interests of Southern California. These instructions he ignored, and on Friday night, when the legislature was in the last hours of the session, he coolly telegraphs, "The Amerige bill is hung up in the senate." When it is known that two months ago a meeting of walnut growers of Southern California was called to meet in Los Angeles to prepare a bill providing for a pathological station for investigating the walnut blight as well as other ailments of tree and vine; when it is known that the efforts of these public-spirited men springs. Oranges at Mt. Shasta! That would prove to cachination the ordinary predatory, predaceous line quadruped of commerce. Shasta produces fine mineral water and the San Francisco "promotion committee" is composed of a lot of gorgeous and prismatic lily but we grow oranges in Southern California. SURE, what Hatfield doesn't know about making rain will never hurt him! RICHARD MELROSE of this city has been appointed by Gov. Pardee to be trustee of the state normal school in Los Angeles. Mr. Melrose's appointment was signed to the senate along with that of Charles Dwight Ward, the eminent Los Angeles reformer, but the women of the upper house objected to the latter, and the appointment was withdrawn. Orange county will Los Angeles loses. STRONG opposition has developed in New York public circles to the confirmation of Charles Anderson, the negro recently appointed by the president collector of internal revenue of that port. He declared that the appointment is likely to stir up a bitter strife in an office where two hundred or more whites will be under the negro appointee. SANTA ANA seems to be paying more attention whiskey in its coming election than anything else. Blind pigs have broken out in the butcher-shop that town, if current reports are worthy of belief, now the frugal resident going after his porter may step behind the cold-storage and get his snacks before breakfast. The drys are led by Uncle B Spurgeon, Aunty Jeems and Johnny Beatty, the little Lady Lovekens of county-seat politics, while wets are marshaled by Oyama Goepper of the Whites, George Augustus Edgar, Jimmy the Slayer and a vast army of whistle wetters who declare incessance prevails they will paint a streak of red from courthouse clear over to Tomato Springs. A BILL passed by the legislature is now before governor for approval which provides that 60 percent of the residents of a proposed new county may upon the establishment thereof, and in event of a majority vote the new county shall be formed. I bill meets with executive approval it is probable formed by wire that the Amerige bill was the measure desired not only by Orange county, but by the combined horticultural interests of Southern California. These instructions he ignored, and on Friday night, when the legislature was in the last hours of the session, he coolly telegraphs, "The Amerige bill is hung up in the senate." When it is known that two months ago a meeting of walnut growers of Southern California was called to meet in Los Angeles to prepare a bill providing for a pathological station for investigating the walnut blight as well as other ailments of tree and vine; when it is known that the efforts of these public-spirited men crystallized into the bill so promptly passed through the assembly by Amerige, carrying an appropriation of $30,000 for combatting diseases affecting trees and vines; when it is known that in all probability this institution would have been located in Orange county—what has Anderson to say in defense of his telegram, "The bill is hung up in the senate?" To Mr. Neff of this city is due much of the credit for preparing the bill and making its enactment into law seem at one time all but accomplished. Mr. Neff attended the initial meeting of walnut growers at the Los Angeles chamber of commerce in January; he was appointed upon the committee to which was referred the work of preparing a bill providing for a pathological station. He gave much of his time and energy to prepare the bill which finally passed the assembly under the name of the Amerige bill. He made several trips to Sacramento, at his own expense, and was in conference with Gov. Pardee and Benj. Ide Wheeler of the university, both of whom approved the measure as being vitally important to the deciduous fruit and walnut industries of the state. It was this bill which Anderson made himself the laughing stock of the state in referring to as being desired by the people of the south, and for which he asked support, upon the floor of the senate, in return for his support of the Biggs bill. Senator Shortridge pointed out that Anderson, in offering to make his support of the Biggs bill contingent upon northern members voting for the Amerige bill, was guilty of compounding a felony upon the very floor of the senate! Anderson seemed at that time to favor the bill, which meant so much to walnut growers throughout Southern California, yet he lived to see the time when, after Amerige had passed the bill through the assembly, he was forced to telegraph, "The bill is hung up in the senate." Mr. Neff and others of the committee representing the Southern California counties called upon Anderson when in Sacramento in relation to the bill. Mr. Neff said, speaking for his own section, that the walnut growers of Orange county were vitally interested in the bill, walnuts being one of the principal industries of the county. Anderson, whose head seems to have been swelled several sizes too large, haughtily replied that inasmuch as he represented Riverside county as well as Orange, he would do nothing to unduly advance the interests of the latter county as against those of the former. "This bill affects the interests of every county in Southern California," replied Mr. Neff, getting warm under the collar; "the walnut and deciduous fruit and celery growers urge the passage of this bill, and your political salvation depends upon it." Yet Anderson lived to come up with the fatal moment when he was forced to telegraph, "The bill is hung up in the senate." What excuse has he to offer for this outrageous neglect of duty? Was it a sell-out, or was it a bill passed by the legislature is now before governor for approval which provides that 60 percent of the residents of a proposed new county may upon the establishment thereof, and in event of a jority vote the new county shall be formed. The bill meets with executive approval it is probable Los Angeles and Santa Clara counties may be deed. The county to be carved out of the former be called Pomona county. A bond of $5000 must put up by petitioners to cover costs if the elephant should not carry. The boundary line must not nearer than five miles from the courthouse of the county. An official proclamation has been issued by Governor D. Lee, commander of the united confederate veterans at New Orleans, paying unstinted praise and trust to congress for passing the battle flag return meadow and to President Roosevelt for his prompt signings Gen. Lee says: "I would be derelict in my duty to give an expression of the satisfaction that fill heart of every confederate veteran for the unanticipated with which the national congress passed the bidding store the confederate battle flags to the seaside states and the readiness with which the measure approved by the president. This action is but evidence that there is now in our grand country sectional lines, no south, no north, east or west that we are all Americans, all devoted to a common country." The big water suit instituted by J. H. Barton, resenting the San Bernardino water protective action against the Riverside water company, heard at Los Angeles commencing on June 19th according to a stipulation agreed to by the parting suit. According to this stipulation it is said that the selection of a judge to try the case shall left open until after the governor shall appoint judges of the court of appeals and the three additional superior judges of Los Angeles county. The brought to enjoin the Riverside water company operating its elaborate system of deep-well plant allegation being that these wells and pumping pumps drain the San Bernardino valley of its irrigation ter, and that the water so drained is taken to Lone side and away from the land where it naturally longs, to the great damage of the plaintiff, who pends upon this percolating water to cultivate its soil. It is proper at this time to say that Assembly Amerige has been an energetic and faithful assurer during the session of the legislature just pleaded. His work in support of the bill provides a pathological station, which he carried through lower house without a dissenting vote, entitles him all credit, from friend and personal foe alike. All men of positive ideas, Mr. Amerige has his enemies at home, and these, if reports be true not been idle in devising ways and means to Anderson, whose head seems to have been swollen several sizes too large, haughtily replied that inasmuch as he represented Riverside county as well as Orange, he would do nothing to unduly advance the interests of the latter county as against those of the former. "This bill affects the interests of every county in Southern California," replied Mr. Neff, getting warm under the collar; "the walnut and deciduous fruit and celery growers urge the passage of this bill, and your political salvation depends upon it." Yet Anderson lived to come up with the fatal moment when he was forced to telegraph, "The bill is hung up in the senate." What excuse has he to offer for this outrageous neglect of duty? Was it a sell-out, or was it pure natural-born inefficiency or incompetency? Anderson went to Sacramento as a "reformer." He was one of the antedeluvian Bard shouters from away back, and was going to do things when he got to Sacramento that would astonish the state. He has done so. The provisions of the pathological bill which was hung up before Anderson's eyes are well known to our readers, the bill having appeared twice in these columns, once in the original and again in the amended form. The bill carried an appropriation of $30,000 and provided for a pathological station for investigating diarrhoeal products of the soil. That it should have been defeated in the senate, after passing the assembly unanimously, is to be deplored by every orange grower, every walnut grower, every celery grower, every tomato grower, and every farmer in Orange county. And Senator Anderson of Santa Ana is the man responsible for its defeat. The California "promotion committee" of San Francisco must be pretty hard up for literature to send out the following bit of willful misrepresentation: "In general the zone area adapted to the growth of such trees evergreens, in California extends from San Diego County on the south to the base of Mt. Shasta on the north, a distance of almost 700 miles and varies from 70 or 80 to 300 miles in width. This zone has been termed by the Weather Bureau "California's orange-growing thermal belt;" its mean annual temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees. This orange-growing thermal belt is illustrative of a fact which few eastern people know; e.g. that the climate of California, as far as regards heat and cold, is determined by altitudes and by the distance east and west instead of by the distance north and south which is generally the case in the eastern states." As we have hitherto pointed out, this precious "promotion committee," like its partner in infamy, the "state board of trade," cannot breathe the name of southern California without attempting more or less ludicrously to place the state as far north as Mt. Shasta, in the same "thermal belt;" the inference to be drawn being that the prodigious growth of the south can be duplicated throughout the state as far north as Shasta. It is proper at this time to say that Assembly Amerige has been an energetic and faithful assurer during the session of the legislature just completed. His work in support of the bill provides a pathological station, which he carried through lower house without a dissenting vote, entitles him all credit, from friend and personal foe alike. All men of positive ideas, Mr. Amerige has his enemies at home, and these, if reports be true not been idle in devising ways and means to pass his political undoing in the time to come while we have nothing to do with the skeleton in Fullerton political closet, we question whether Amerige's work at Sacramento has not made him than the circumscribed bounds of a mere squabble. He has strong friends, at home as well elsewhere in the county, and these aver that he not step aside merely to vent the whim of a few personal enemies, some of whom have hardly got seats warm in county affairs. Amerige is a man than he was at last fall's primaries, where personal foes tried to take a fall out of him—and ed to do it. The law departments of the Southern Pacific the Santa Fe railroads have reached an agreement specifying the orange-rate case that will not prove reading to the orange growers and shipping Southern California. The railroads have decided ignore the recent decision of the Interstate Commission wherein the commission decided that rate of $1.25 on oranges from California to all points was unreasonable and should be reduced $1.15. In other words, the railroads purpose quire the payment of the existing rate, unless they ange shippers can find relief through the courts means that the shippers will not obtain any fruits of their big victory before the Interstate Commerce Commission for a year or two. Figured at volume of the traffic handled in 1903, the red ordered by the commission would reduce the ceipts of the several lines participating in the $808,236, and the two railroads have apparently decided that this sum is too much money to leave pockets of the orange growers and shippers traffic departments of these two railroad companies passed the matter up to their law department and it is now announced that the latter have fled way to defeat, for a time at least, the decision Interstate Commerce Commission. Shasta! That would provoke many predatory, predaceous feasts. Shasta produces fine mince francisco "promotion committees of gorgeous and prismatic liars southern California. Doesn't know about making it! This city has been appointed trustee of the state normal school district's appointment was sent that of Charles Dwight Willinges reformer, but the wise objected to the latter, and his drawn. Orange county wins; It developed in New York reconfirmation of Charles W. Dently appointed by the president revenue of that port. It is treatment is likely to stir up bitterness two hundred or more negro appointee. The paying more attention to selection than anything else. Out in the butcher-shops of sports are worthy of belief, and not going after his porterhouse cold-storage and get his snifter dryrs are led by Uncle Billy and Johnny Beatty, the Lit-town-seat politics, while the Oyama Goepper of the Lily River Edgar, Jimmy the Sleepie wetters who declare if lilac paint a streak of red from the Tomato Springs. Legislature is now before the which provides that 60 per cent opposed new county may vote thereof, and in event of a ma-county shall be formed. If the vote approval it is probable that Anaheim, Cal., March 14, 1905 To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, Gentlemen: In compliance with your request for a report as to what changes were necessary to improve the municipal water works and electric light plant I would respectfully offer the following, as being, in my opinion, the most economical plan, although of considerable first cost. Improvements and repairs could be made at small cost that would provide for the present shortage in water and light but would be of only temporary relief and would gain nothing in economy. The demand for water has been such that the present mains are too small to supply consumers with water at sufficient pressure during the evening hours, when the largest amount of water is being drawn. By laying a six-inch main from the tanks to Lemon street and thence on Lemon to Center, connecting with the present main at that point the capacity of the system would be about doubled. There should be four-inch mains laid as follows: On Broadway from Claudina to Olive. On Center from Olive to Santa Fe depot. On Adele from Los Angeles to Olive. Several fire hydrants should be placed on these lines From 2000 to 5000 feet of two-inch pipe should be laid to supply parties desiring city water. On account of the decayed condition and also on account of the small height of the present tank frames, I would advise the erection of a 60-foot steel tank, the size to depend upon the number of hours the lighting plant was run during the day of 24 hours. The water in the wells being so far below the surface makes it difficult and expensive to raise with the present steam pumps, therefore I Main Department Santa Clara GREATEST CLOSE All Men's Suits Appreciating the fact that nearly all clothing stores tion; this fact being the cause for much complaint by decided to devote our entire clothing energies to them specially bought with this consideration.

A. NAC Ordnance No. 168 An Ordnance amending Section 1 of Ordnance No. 140, and adding two new sections thereto. The Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim on May 27th, 1902, be and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 1. That Section 1 of Ordnance No. 140, entitled "An ordinance providing for the licensing and regulating of the business of selling liquors in the City of Anaheim, and repealing all ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict therewith," passed by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim on May 27th, 1902, be and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 1. For the purpose of this ordinance a wholesale liquor establishment is declared to be a place where spirituous, vino, malt or mixed intoxicating liquors are sold, served or given away in quantities of not less than one-fifth of gallon, and where such pipe should be laid to supply parties desiring city water. On account of the decayed condition and also on account of the small height of the present tank frames, I would advise the erection of a 60-foot steel tank, the size to depend upon the number of hours the lighting plant was run during the day of 24 hours. The water in the wells being so far below the surface makes it difficult and expensive to raise with the present steam pumps, therefore I would suggest the use of deep-well pumps driven by electric motors. If the deep-well pumps were not considered suitable for fire pressure the Deane pump could be erected on the surface and connected in such a way that it would draw from the deep-well pumps and the tank at the same time and discharge into the mains giving greater pressure on the mains than is possible with the pump at the bottom of the pit, as at present. The new tank frame should be erected at the rear of the lot and a new building erected covering the present boilers and extending towards the street to provide for a new lighting plant. The present plant has been in use from nine to eleven years and with some repairs and additions could be used for a number of years more but it would be more economical to replace it with new apparatus entirely. The present dynamos are single phase 125 and 133 cycle machines and this type is out of date and not suitable for power. The engines are of the simple high speed type of low first cost but extravagant in the use of steam. In increasing the plant engines should be selected with a view to efficiency, rather than first cost, and to provide for this I would suggest installing Corliss engines belted to the dynamos, or high-speed tandem compound engines direct connected to the dynamos, and two dynamos of from 70 to 120 K.W., 60 cycles. A new boiler of the same size as present boilers would also be required. The heater in use at present, while being one of the best makes, is much too small for the work required and should be replaced by a larger one. A summary of the suggestions would be the following: 1000 feet 6-in castiron water pipe, 3000 feet 4-in castiron water pipe, 2000 to 5000 feet 2-in screw pipe, six to eight fire hydrants, one 60-foot steel tower with steel tank, three deep-well pumps with motors, two dynamos, two engines, one boiler, one heater, one brick building. This, with the necessary piping, fittings, labor, etc. would cost approximately fifty thousand dollars. Respectfully submitted, A. L.
